Slave-Girls and Amazons: humorous fantasy

When the Hedral Watcher was in need of a warrior to defeat an all-powerful warlock, he knew that Thane - a lethal intergalactic mercenary - was just the man for the job. Unfortunately, he ended up with an amiable drunk, an inept wizard with an inferiority complex, and a blonde Amazon squeezed into a tiny squirrel-skin bikini.

As the omniscient being of the planet, the Watcher had a funny feeling that it would all end in tragedy, unless Thane was able to vanquish the Warlock before his woefully inadequate substitutes stumbled upon his adversary's mountain fortress. But the band of fearless Warlock hunters had other ideas. How hard could it be to defeat a one thousand year old shape-shifting Warlock and his army of battle-hardened troll-corpses?

This humorous fantasy novel is the story of their trials and tribulations, as they romp through a Tolkienesque landscape peopled by the Weird and Wonderful, such as witches seeking men to ride for the donkey-derby; a psychotic forester with a skeletal wife and a sinister fascination in wood-work; a band of trolls on the lookout for virgins to sacrifice to celebrate Thursdays; and more skimpily dressed Amazons than you can shake a spear at.....
